KATHMANDU, Nov 17: CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal has termed the November 20 elections to the House of Representatives (HoR) and provincial assemblies as a referendum between progressive and regressive forces.
There is a need for the ruling alliance to win the polls to ensure the rights of the deprived social class, geography and indigenous people, said the former prime minister. Dahal, in a video message, urged all voters to exercise their right to vote and make the coalition victorious.

"The responsibility of making Nepal prosperous through people's access to education, health and employment opportunities and a self-reliant economy has fallen on our shoulders. There is no room for excuses," he said.
Arguing there is no possibility to pursue a journey of development, prosperity and justice under the leadership of a regressive force, Chairman Dahal stressed the need for a pro-change force to lead the next government to realize these dreams.
"For ending regressive forces and corruption, and pursuing the journey of socialism through a prosperous Nepal, I want to appeal to all the voters to vote for candidates from the alliance under the first-past-the-post system and for the Maoist Center (whose election symbol is 'a hammer and sickle within a circle') under the proportional representation system."
